PREFACE TO THE STUDENT
WHAT’S YOUR PREDICTION? Can a better understanding of
psychology change your life?
Whether you’re an aspiring psychologist or pursuing a different career, we believe the answer is yes. Technology is constantly moving the needle for how we live, interact, and engage. Greater access to information, virtual communication, and social media gives each of us more opportunities to connect. Psychology helps illuminate the forces driving our need to make those connections.
Hashtags like #MeToo, #WhyIStayed, #BlackLivesMatter, and #GivingTuesday bring to light not only the differences between us but also the aspects of human behavior that unite us. By immersing yourself in the principles of psychology, you can discover not only how these principles apply to your own life but also how they impact the world in which we live.
With psychology entering its third century as a formal discipline, we could easily offer you a huge text, piling new theories and discoveries on old ones from psychology’s historical warehouse. Instead, we’ve tried to balance efficiency with depth of coverage that highlights the defining and distinguishing features of the field.
Think Like a Psychologist
Our primary goal with this book is to develop your ability to think critically about the human experience—in other words, to think like a psychologist.
If you look globally at countries, economies, and businesses, or more personally at marriages, partners, families, individuals, and even yourself, the world in which we live is really an interaction among people—a shared lived experience. Understanding the nature of this experience requires context and critical thinking. To that end, this material provides:
Historical connections. Important moments in psychology, like the emergence of psychoanalysis as a behavioral therapy and the Jane Doe case study of repression that made it to the California Supreme Court, help you see how the field has evolved and grown.
Real people, real lives. We introduce you to everyday people and stories in ways that help you constantly evaluate the lived experience of being human. Examples include a heroic first responder who was Muslim, an upper-middle-class family that was close to homelessness, and many more. These
https://t.me/medicina_free
introductions help you see the world from many perspectives and think critically about your own place in it.
Behind the headlines. The content is peppered with news stories ranging from politics and law to sports and entertainment. You’ll see how athletes like Serena Williams, celebrities like Carrie Fisher, everyday people like Louise Ogborn, and social media are helping to reshape society’s perception of issues such as pregnancy, mental health, coercion, and the field itself.
First-hand predictions. Have you ever heard about a story and wondered if there was more to it? Or predicated an outcome and then checked it against what actually happened? This material presents you with frequent opportunities to make your own predictions, just as a psychologist would, about cases, examples, and ground-breaking scientific studies. The more you practice, the sharper your critical skills will become.
Embrace Experimentation
We hope you will embrace trial and error as part of your psychology journey. Research methods are central to psychology’s identity as a science. The “data” or information we have—regarding psychological disorders, the impact of chemistry on behavior, how and why we feel, what stress does to the body, methods of persuasion, and other phenomena—is thanks to the deliberate task of testing predictions and building theories using the scientific method.
As those test results are revealed, they build on one another to present a more thorough understanding of psychology and human behavior. However, those cumulative effects are never static. Some ideas prove to be outdated or incorrect—like the perpetuated myth of gender-based cognitive performance. When an accumulation of science says otherwise, we must move forward and adapt better theories. This quest for better theories is why psychology is dynamic. This research process is introduced and fully presented in the first chapter.
See Yourself in the Field
Another goal is to connect with you as fellow members of a diverse and inclusive society. We believe that race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status are crucial factors in how the field of psychology has evolved and where it needs to go. Therefore, we seek to address our own implicit biases and illustrate relevant events and developments, such as diversity and inclusion efforts in
https://t.me/medicina_free
business. We feel that all this, and so much more, is worth talking about to support our goal of diversity and inclusion in the classroom and in the world.
Furthermore, we understand you want meaningful employment. The good news is, psychology has a lot to offer your career. Psychology majors thrive in many different settings, including human resources, teaching, research, sales, sports, marketing, social media, the arts, and law enforcement. In fact, can you name more than a few jobs where an understanding of human behavior won’t serve you? To better prepare you for your job hunt, coverage in this material aims to demonstrate how useful psychology is in the workforce. For example, psychology plays an integral role in helping employees find their work-life balance, assisting employers with conducting interviews that can reveal promising applicants, and developing skills that translate into effective leadership, teamwork, and motivation.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
As educators, authors, and people, we strive to celebrate diversity and practice inclusivity. Therefore, reflecting current research, we share a range of experiences, and use considerate language, including careful consideration for how we discuss sex, gender, ability, race, ethnicity, and other valued factors. Psychology is the study of human behavior—a topic we should all feel connected to. In this light, we are dedicated to presenting psychological science in a manner that allows all students to be represented and respected. As inclusive language and vocabulary evolve with our understanding of psychology, so also will our materials in subsequent editions.
You are the reason authors like us do what we do. Thank you for this incredible opportunity to connect with you and introduce you to psychology.

PREFACE TO THE INSTRUCTOR
WHAT’S YOUR PREDICTION? Can the right course material
transform your classroom and improve learning outcomes?
We believe so. That’s why we’ve built a product that solves common teaching challenges and sets students up for success. We packed it with examples students can sink their teeth into, activities to get them thinking like psychologists, and lessons learned—not just by us, but from some of the biggest names in the field. Then we refined each element, incorporating feedback from instructors, students, and specialists who are as passionate about psychology as we are. In addition to being mindful of our own implicit biases throughout the writing process, we engaged a diversity and inclusion specialist to read, validate, and strengthen each chapter.
The result: an objective, classic, and mainstream look at psychology today.
Remarkably Current
Included are discussions of the most recent work on the effects of racism, the value of diversity, awareness of implicit bias, challenges with fertility, the opioid crisis, domestic and international terrorism, public health crises such as global obesity and the coronavirus, equity and equality, wellness, the role of technology in our everyday lives, and even the relevance of psychology in politics.
As academics, we also strive to meaningfully integrate research and practice. Our choices are inspired and steered by the scholarship of teaching and learning research that empirically demonstrates the need for change in what is presented to students. For example, Ferguson, Brown, and Torres (2016) expressed concern with the myths and false stories published in texts such as the story that no one tried to help Kitty Genovese. Rodkey’s (2015) historical work revealed that the visual cliff experiment as written in so many texts eliminated important pieces. We take a critical and deep dive into the psychological literature and further recognize and discuss findings, once accepted, that have since been debunked.
Refreshingly Practical
Psychology has a far-reaching impact across several careers, which is one reason an introductory psychology course is available to, and often required by, all majors at the college level. Therefore, in this content we aim to demonstrate the value of psychology, not only for its application in your students’ lives but also in their careers.
Psychology majors will find references to organizational psychology, forensic psychology, educational and school psychology,
https://t.me/medicina_free
clinical psychology, sports psychology, health psychology, and other exciting fields within the discipline.
Nonmajors will discover how psychology can have an impact on almost any career they might pursue. Search the latest job postings and you’ll find calls for critical thinking, effective communication, strategic decision-making, and the ability to collaborate and work in diverse groups and settings. This content emphasizes the cultivation of these skills, benefiting students of all interests and experience levels.
Packed With Special Features
It is our goal to help you cultivate critical thinking, empowering each student to learn to think like a psychologist. To achieve this, we put much thought into features, organization, and readability. We added pedagogical elements designed to get readers questioning, reflecting, and discussing. Here are a few features we’re most excited about:
What’s Your Prediction? Chapter openers describe a classic or contemporary psychological study and ask the student to predict the results. The results are then revealed, followed by a brief discussion. This activity, more than any other we have tried in the classroom, gets students to think critically about research methods and their own assumptions about human behavior.
Psychology Applied. These spotlight some of the most exciting work being done in areas of health, education, law, sports, and current events, enabling students to see the relevance of psychology as an active participant.
Video Enrichment. Bite-sized videos support understanding and the applications of foundational studies and concepts.
Psychology Experiment Exercises allows students to learn about experiments such as Gibson’s Visual Cliff and Bandura’s social learning theory, helping them understand the real-world significance and application of these well­known experiments.
Concept in Action dig deeper into tough concepts, such as differentiating between classical and operant conditioning, difficult biological functions, and types of stress.
Try This! activities guide students through mini-experiments so that they can test intriguing psychological phenomena for themselves. For instance, the “Primacy Effect” activity provides
https://t.me/medicina_free
materials to test how something as simple as the order of words can impact our attitudes toward a stranger.
Periodic Learning Checksin each chapter enable students to review their knowledge by quizzing themselves on the material in a variety of formats, such as matching, sorting, recall, ordering, multiple-choice, and true-or-false.
Thinking Like a Psychologist sections at the end of each chapter prompt students to assume the role of psychologist, considering scientific questions, a summary of related findings, challenging readers to critically consider key theories, studies, and pertinent contextual factors.
Organization
We believe the relationship between psychology and everyday life should be a part of every chapter’s conversation. Therefore, we highlight mainstream and classical psychological topics in each chapter. You will notice these highlights throughout the content and in our “Psychology Applied” features, where real-world topics and issues in psychology are connected to content. As a team of authors committed to culture and diversity, we weave cross-cultural and diversity issues into the narrative. Some of the discussions we hope these highlights will spark include mental health in American Indians, wellness disparities in Black Americans versus White Americans, the need for wellness initiatives to support employees’ work-life balance, and intimate partner violence toward men.

Chapter 1: Psychology and its Methods
In this chapter, we take a journey through the rich, albeit brief, history of psychology and how the field has evolved, particularly over the past few decades. Students are exposed to a range of perspectives and see how psychology has matured as a discipline. Also covered is the scaffolding that supports knowledge creation in psychology: science. Many introductory textbooks separate the introduction of psychology from its methods of inquiry, often presented in a parenthetical second chapter. We take a more integrated approach that presents psychology’s research methods as part and parcel of its history, development, and current identity as a science.
